The University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) and the Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management, Ghana (CIHRM), have organised a corporate health walk as part of their awareness creation and fundraising campaign for Ghana’s first Human Resource Management (HRM) Professorial Chair.
The health walk, which brought together Chief Executive Officers, HR practitioners of CIHRM, faculty members of UGBS, and students, heightened awareness of the need to engage in moderate physical exercise to improve general well-being and productivity.
It also served as a platform to appeal to the general public for support towards raising the funds required to ensure the smooth operation of the Chair.
Speaking at the event, the Chairperson of the Fundraising Committee, Dr (Mrs) Ellen Hagan, reiterated the need for all sectors in Ghana to embrace the Chair as a catalyst for national development through cutting-edge research, innovation and human capital policy guidance.
Dr Hagan added that fundraising activities for the HRM Professorial Chair would continue throughout the year, and urged public and private sector institutions, as well as individuals, to contribute towards this laudable national agenda.
Other important activities scheduled following the corporate health walk include a presentation at the CIHRM’25 Conference, engagements with policymakers, an HR Community Brunch, engagements with Chief Executive Officers and Managing Directors, and a series of public lectures.
During the CIHRM’25 Conference, scheduled for Wednesday 18 June to Thursday 19 June 2025 at the Alisa Hotel in Accra, Dr (Mrs) Ellen Hagan will unpack the critical role of the HRM Professorial Chair in advancing national development and growth.
UGBS and CIHRM are encouraging the media, the HR community, policymakers, industry players and the general public to embrace this landmark initiative, which is poised to transform the HRM landscape in Ghana and elevate the performance of organisations and institutions across the country.
